Cesar Millan: The Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan: The Dog Whisperer Before he became TV's beloved canine savant, his wife had to teach him how to love women Most Popular Courtesy of Cesar and Ilusion Millan Advertisement - Continue Reading Below What, you were expecting peace and quiet, muchachas? Cesar Millan may be known as the Dog Whisperer, but in his kitchen on a recent afternoon, there is not a moment of silence. When Millan and his wife, Ilusion, aren't taking turns bobbling a friend's baby on their knees or admiring their youngest son's new braces, they are talking excitedly. Often at the same time. It's a Latino thing, Cesar explains: "Everything is so loud." Ilusion agrees: "I'm naturally a loud person. It can be a bit overpowering. I'm just sharing my feelings, you know?" Her husband, looking trim in a V-neck sage-colored T-shirt and faded jeans, continues, "I feel like I'm regulating the volume of my wife's intensity.

Like—" Most Popular "That's so true," interjects Ilusion, vibrant in a hot pink sleeveless turtleneck and pants ironed to a sharp crease. "He's like, `Honey, okay, we understand. But there are neighbors!' " Yes, that's right: When the Dog Whisperer talks to the woman he says domesticated him—call her the Man Whisperer— he's lucky to get a word in edgewise. "When we're in a restaurant," the D.W. says, "and she gets into that, you know, stage, I have to say, `I'm right here. Look! I can totally hear you.' " The M.W. nods, smiling. "We're both very animated," she says. "Let me tell the story," the D.W. says in the same calm, assertive tone that he uses with the unruly dogs on his weekly hit TV show (now in its sixth season on the National Geographic Channel). And at first, the correction seems to take. "I'm sorry, baby," the M.W. responds, her voice warm like she means it. A beat later, though, that's out the window. The M.W.

has something she just has to say. So it goes, for more than two hours: Cesar, 40, and Ilusion, 34, jabbing and parrying, cross-talking, even bickering. What other couples might see as exhausting, however, the Millans, perched side by side on tall stools, treat as a blessing—because there was a time they had trouble communicating at all. Today, more than 10 million viewers a week hear the D.W. repeat, mantralike, that he rehabilitates dogs and trains people. What few know is that before he became the Dog Whisperer, his wife rehabilitated him. "She gave leadership to the relationship," the D.W. says, recalling the dark day 15 years ago when Ilusion—fed up with her husband's harsh indifference—moved out with their infant son.

"He was afraid to love anybody." "I didn't do it with humans, that's all," Cesar says, matter-of-factly.

"I was there in my heart, but my heart was blocked." When Cesar was growing up on a farm in Culiacán, Mexico, his affinity for canines earned him the nickname El Perrero, or "the dog man." It also got him teased. He was that weird kid who related better to animals than to his own species. Plus, he was dirt-poor. So from early on, he believed that people could hurt you, but dogs—never! Determined to become the world's best dog trainer, Cesar crossed the border illegally at age 21. Arriving in Los Angeles, he washed limousines while trying to build a clientele. From the moment a 17-year-old Ilusion saw Cesar in a crowded ice rink, she says, "I knew this was the guy for me." Cesar, then 23 and living in a one-room apartment with six dogs, wasn't so sure. When a friend told him he could go to jail (and surely be deported) for dating an underage girl, he broke off their fledgling romance. He was blunt, Ilusion says.

"I came to the door and pressed the bell, and he said, `I can't see you anymore.' It killed me." But it didn't deter her. There was something about Cesar's focus, his drive, that made her feel safe. The day she turned 18, she showed up at his door again, and soon they were inseparable. When, a few months later, she discovered she was pregnant, Cesar immediately proposed. Before their wedding, which he paid for, he washed the limousine they'd ride in himself. Cesar says he was happy to exchange vows— he believed in family—but saw his wife more as a necessary encumbrance than as an equal partner. Ilusion knew her husband's rural upbringing was culturally very different from her middle-class Mexican-American youth (her dad owns a precision machine business). Still, she was surprised by how coldly judgmental her new husband was. "Cesar didn't know better," she says now. "He was raised that women are last on the food chain. You feed everyone else first, including the dog." Advertisement - Continue Reading Below At the time, Cesar says, he believed he was fulfilling the man's role: working to make money to feed his family.

But he was never around, and when he did come home, "If he didn't get what he wanted, he was verbally abusive," Ilusion says, "screaming at the top of his lungs." When their first son, Andre, was one year old, Ilusion was rushed to the hospital for emergency gall bladder surgery. She almost died, she says, but Cesar didn't visit her until days after the surgery. "He came to visit for two hours, but he was like, `I can't believe you're sick.' He was so annoyed." And the day she came home, "He's like, `I've got to get back to my dogs.' " Not long after, Ilusion told Cesar goodbye. He was stunned. Most Popular "I asked God: `Why you give me the strongest, most stubborn woman in the world?' " he says. Mimicking what he'd seen his father and uncles do, "I just focused on everything she did wrong," he says, a list that went "all the way from Alaska to Argentina. I thought it was going to keep her calm and submissive." Instead, it sent her packing, and Cesar admits his ego was bruised.

When he called her, crying, asking her to come home, she said there was just one way she'd consider it: They had to go to counseling. The idea went against every macho value he held dear. But he didn't refuse. "I threw my little temper tantrum and all that, but from that moment on, I didn't stop thinking: So what do I need to do so I can gain my family back?" It was in counseling that Cesar experienced what the couple calls his "lightbulb moment," when the therapist urged Ilusion to tell Cesar what she wanted. Here is how the couple, sitting together in the kitchen, recall the scene. Ilusion: "I'm like, `I really want you to listen. I want you to be there in our household. I don't want to be treated like a piece of property. And honey, you know, I want you to tell me that you love me,' because he never did." Cesar: "Wait a minute. There was no `honey' in that [speech]." Ilusion: "Okay, whatever. I was hurt." Cesar turns to me.

"No, this is my wife when she wants to get some shit across: `Cesar!' " he cries, issuing an avalanche of Spanish invective. Both Millans agree, however, about what happened next. When Ilusion finished her laundry list of what she needed, Cesar's face brightened as he looked up from the pad on which he'd been furiously taking notes. To the therapist, he exclaimed: "She's just like dogs!" The couple jokes about this now, though at the time, were it not for the counselor, Ilusion says she might have stormed out in frustration. The therapist helped her to see that Cesar was using the animals he utterly understood to try to begin to understand one he couldn't: his wife. "It wasn't about me any more," Cesar says, musing on the moment that led them to reconcile after six months apart. "It was about the pack." Advertisement - Continue Reading Below No single revelation mends all a relationship's ills. Marriage, as anyone who's tried it can attest, is an ongoing project. And both Millans are searchers who've delved into all manner of selfhelp literature (the D.W. loves Wayne Dyer; the M.W.

just read Radical Forgiveness: Making Room for the Miracle, by Colin Tipping). After 16 years together, their goal is to appreciate rather than resent their differences. It's not always easy. For example, when Ilusion gets hurt, it can take her a while to get over it. And during that period, as she searches to understand what exactly has led her to feel as she does, she wants Cesar to be sweet to her—even though, she acknowledges, she's not being very sweet to him. "But she doesn't apply the same thing to herself," Cesar says. When Ilusion is upset, he's supposed to be patient and cuddle her, "which is opposite of what she'd do if I were going through my process." Ilusion appraises him unflinchingly. "Yeah, because he goes to anger. I go to sadness, and for a woman, being sad, you want comforting. A man is like, `I'm pissed. Stay away from me.' " Cesar's eyes twinkle. "I would like to have sex with you even though I'm angry." Ilusion rolls her eyes.

Anyone who's watched Dog Whisperer With Cesar Millan knows that while dog owners may think their dogs are the problem, actually the problem is them. But interestingly, it is only through his marriage, Cesar says, that he began to understand human behavior. If Ilusion hadn't moved out in 1995, he says, he would never have gone on to train Will Smith and Jada Pinkett's dogs, or Oprah Winfrey's, or those of countless other A-listers. And to this day, without Ilusion to poke him to look inward—when it comes to emotion, he says, "my wife is an expert"—he'd still lack the tools to meet his goals. Ilusion is quick to say Cesar has broadened her world, as well. During the early years, when she coached him to raise his prices—he used to charge $65 a day (his fees now start around $10,000)—he told her more than once that she had a natural head for business. Insecure, she says, she resisted the suggestion.

But when Dog Whisperer began to take off—there have been four best-selling books, a line of pet-care products, a glossy magazine, and instructional videos; he expects to be a $100 million business in a few years—she joined him. Today, Cesar (who became a U.S. citizen last year) is CEO of Cesar Millan Inc.; Ilusion is its president and co-CEO. Together, the couple have funneled money into charities that promote animal health. Ilusion, once a preschool teacher, has eagerly teamed up with Yale University to develop "Mutt-i-grees," a curriculum for young children based on the Dog Whisperer's teachings. And then there's the Illusion Collar, a device the couple designed to keep the leash high on a dog's neck, for easier handling. Like the rest of us, Ilusion sometimes struggles to implement Cesar's teachings with the family pets. "I'm the nurturer, so naturally I just want to hug my dog," she says. Her husband raises an eyebrow. "I respectfully disagree with that. You don't frickin' nurture me when I'm unstable." He turns again to me.

"This is a very smart woman, and she will play Monopoly on you and pretend she's not," he says, making his wife, who admits she enjoys and excels at games of all kinds, laugh out loud. "He's reached that state where he has to emote," she says approvingly. "You've got two people emoting now. It's like watching a great sitcom." In fact, 20th Century Fox Television recently greenlit a pilot based on Cesar and Ilusion. Wilmer Valderrama is set to star as the man who is dog's best friend. (Ilusion's role is yet to be cast.) Their real-life plotline, meanwhile, will always include arguing, they say. Their last fight came after Cesar bought a bunch of fencing for the ranch where he is building a Dog Psychology Center, the first of several he hopes to open across the country. The couple had agreed that whenever he spent money, he'd tell his wife so she could update their books. But the D.W. forgot to tell the M.W., and the M.W. blew her stack. Patching things up meant heading back to the kitchen, the place where Cesar says they tend to talk things through.

"I sit over there," he says, pointing to a chair on one side of the table. "My wife will sit there," he gestures to the other side. "Or we'll go to the bedroom," Ilusion adds. "Depending on the intensity of the situation." More from ELLE: Dogs In Danger - BEYOND CESAR MILLAN BEYOND CESAR MILLAN Reward the Good or Punish the Bad? There is a quiet battle being fought in dog-training circles. On one side, Cesar Millan. No doubt you’ve heard of Mr. Millan, world-renowned “Dog Whisperer,” known for his uncanny ability to communicate with dogs. He is often seen power-walking large packs of dogs at a time. Millan has captured the national spotlight with his National Geographic television series in which he rehabilitates wayward canines — aggressive, scared, lazy, compulsive and jealous dogs. Millan’s style and methods sure make good television drama. What are Cesar’s credentials for this line of work?

Well, according to Cesar’s website, his “blessed gift - a primal communion with nature - always came naturally to him.” “For me,” Millan says, “it's just instinctual -- I understand how they think and behave, so I can relate to them and communicate with them.” Cesar has no formal training or education in animal behavior. He draws on his observations of his grandfather in Mexico and his own life experience. He gained Hollywood attention after training guard dogs for actors Will Smith and Jada Pinket. Millan has created an empire of videos, books, blogs, webinars, talk show appearances, and his Dog Psychology Center in Los Angeles. There, with a pack of 50 dogs, he works his Cesar magic. Millan subscribes to a theory of dogs that fell out of favor with trainers long ago, a dogs-as-wolves pack theory. In his best-selling book, "Cesar's Way," Millan writes that there are only two positions in a relationship, leader or follower. His philosophy is that we, as humans, must act as dominant pack leaders, and our dogs must behave as submissive followers.

He teaches that, in order to properly fulfill both our dogs and ourselves, we each need to become our dog’s calm-assertive pack leader. "I teach owners how to practice exercise, discipline and then affection, which allows dogs to be in a calm, submissive state," he explains. "Most owners in America only practice affection, affection, affection, which does not create a balanced dog.” "Training," says Millan, "only teaches the dogs how to obey commands -- sit, roll over -- it does not have anything to do with dog psychology." Ian Dunbar, though he didn't ask for this fight, stands in the opposite corner of the proverbial training discourse ring, armed with degrees and scientific study. Dr. Ian Dunbar is a veterinarian, animal behaviorist and writer. Dunbar received his veterinary degree and a Special Honors degree in Physiology and Biochemistry from the Royal Veterinary College (London University), a Doctorate in animal behavior from the Psychology Department at the University of California at Berkeley, and a decade of research on olfactory communication, social behavior and aggression in domestic dogs. On top of that, add decades of dog-training experience.

Impressive by any standards, but Dunbar’s opponent in this training controversy is backed by the power of Hollywood and charisma. According to Dunbar, the return to dominance training such as Millan's is a disservice to dogs. Though Millan gets results, Dunbar notes that most people don't have Millan's strength or skill, and even fewer keep dozens of dogs. Dunbar's mild mannered, hands-off, reward-based approach is in stark contrast to Millan's “I’m the Boss” attitude and physical corrections like finger jabs, alpha rollovers and leash pops, to elicit compliance. Instead, Dunbar advocates a trusting and respectful relationship in which our dogs are treated as companions and family members as opposed to a lesser species requiring physical dominance. Dunbar works to dispel the myths that those such as Millan foster. Dogs aren't wolves, Dunbar says, generations of evolution separate the two animals. "Learning from wolves to interact with pet dogs makes about as much sense as, 'I want to improve my parenting -- let's see how the chimps do it!' " The soundness of Dunbar's philosophy and training techniques have been recognized and embraced by trainers everywhere.

He is credited with spurring the demise of punitive, punishment-based training. His Sirius Dog Training program has redefined and revolutionized pet dog training. Over a decade ago, he founded the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, an international organization devoted to promoting human-canine relationships based on trust and respect. He has written numerous dog training books and hosted the popular British television series "Dogs with Dunbar". Dunbar and his wife Kelly Gorman (also a dog trainer), founded Open Paw, a nonprofit dedicated to keeping dogs and cats out of shelters and in loving homes. Dogstar Daily, the online arm of Open Paw, was born shortly thereafter. With so much dog training success, and the respect of the most renowned figures in dog training and behavior, why is Dunbar still relatively unknown and Cesar Millan a household name? "Cesar works with aggressive dogs, and that's sexy these days," says Patricia McConnell. "His methods work well on a limited number of dogs, but in many cases the dogs become shut down. Ian's methods are successful for the average dog owner, and what's more, have been used by professionals for years to successfully treat serious aggression problems.

And, they're fun." The field's most respected behaviorists and trainers are concerned that many of Millan's ideas are unfounded and some of his methods are downright harmful. In Cesar’s world, physical corrections - such as snapping a dog's leash, finger jabs, and forcefully rolling the dog onto his back - are an effective way to garner compliance and good behavior. One technique often used by Millan to “cure” a dog’s fear is to overwhelm the dog with the very stimulus that terrifies him. Imagine treating your dog’s fear of thunder by locking him out in the yard in a severe thunderstorm. Many behaviorists argue that this technique, called "flooding," actually leads to further psychological trauma. The dog learns that resistance is futile - his spirit is broken.

Trish King, Director of the Animal Behavior & Training Department at the Marin Humane Society observes: "In some of his shows, Cesar tells the owner how 'calm and submissive' a dog is, when to me, the dog looks shut down and fearful." Nicholas Dodman, author of "Dogs Behaving Badly" and program director for the Animal Behavior Clinic at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University calls Millan's techniques "abuse." Editor of Bark Magazine, Claudia Kawczynska, is one of Dunbar's many fans. "It's irritating to see Millan treated as the expert. Ian is an animal behaviorist with decades of experience. He should be where Millan is," she says. "Millan lived on a farm, so what? He's good looking, but he's not smart about dogs. It seems people don't want their experts to be educated." Jean Donaldson, director of dog training at the SFSPCA and author of "Culture Clash," a book about the human-dog relationship, views the history of dog training in terms of pre- and post-Dunbar. "Ian is the man," she says.

"He revolutionized the field." She also thinks Millan has tapped into something deeper in the current culture. "It's a backlash against political correctness," she says. "People are angry and life is frustrating and [when] someone tells them it's all about dominating something smaller and weaker? They'll go for that." Writer Mark Derr, in a New York Times editorial, went as far as to call Millan a "charming, one-man wrecking ball directed at 40 years of progress in understanding and shaping dog behavior." "All training is negotiation," Dunbar says, "whether you're training dogs or spouses." Dunbar agrees that training is training is training. "You can instill fear in your kids and get them to mind, but they won't function better in the world and your relationship will suffer greatly," he adds. But if the Cesar magic works, who wouldn't want the magic? That’s what all owners want –the faithful dog that dutifully obeys commands and walks calmly behind us. But does his magic transfer to the average dog owner? Cesar says owners can learn to become better communicators with their dogs, and that his methods teach owners and dogs to become more balanced.

In a letter from Martin Deeley, Owner of the International School for Dog Trainers and Executive Director and Co-Founder of International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP), Deeley praises Millan saying, “Owners are learning to respect their dogs for what they are – dogs. Owners are learning that by understanding what a dog is and does can help them create a long and lasting loving relationship with their dogs without resorting to bribery and child like rewards. Being leader of the pack does not imply strong punishment and corrections but an assertive confident approach where the dog recognizes your leadership.” Missy Lemoi, owner of Hope Lock Kennels Dog Obedience, is one of Millan’s many fans. “I can only hope that more people will follow [Cesar’s] methods and allow their dogs to be dogs rather than treating them as children in fur suits,” Lemoi says, “as a result, there will be fewer dogs given up for adoption or euthanized as uncontrollable animals.” Despite the great Hollywood success, numerous testimonials, and a near cult-like popularity, top dog trainers nationwide express dismay that Millan has become the current face of dog training, and most say Dunbar should be the one with the empire.

It's a fundamental conflict in training philosophy: Are results best achieved through rewarding good behavior or punishing bad? "He has nice dog skills, but from a scientific point of view, what he says is, well ... different," says Dunbar about Millan. "Heaven forbid if anyone else tries his methods, because a lot of what he does is not without danger." "Don't try this at home" messages are flashed throughout Cesar’s television show. American Humane, the oldest national organization protecting children and animals, works to raise public awareness about responsible pet ownership and reduce the euthanasia of unwanted pets. In a letter to the National Geographic Channel, American Humane asked the network to stop airing Cesar Millan’s "Dog Whisperer" citing the training tactics featured on the show as inhumane, outdated and improper. American Humane expressed dismay over the “numerous inhumane training techniques” advocated by Cesar Millan and several instances of cruel and dangerous treatment -- promoted by Millan as acceptable training methods -- were documented by American Humane, including one in which a dog was partially asphyxiated in an episode.

In this instance, the fractious dog was pinned to the ground by its neck after first being “hung” by a collar incrementally tightened by Millan. Millan’s goal -- of subduing a fractious animal -- was accomplished by partially cutting off the blood supply to its brain. In its letter, American Humane said: “We believe that achieving the goal of improving the way people interact with their pets would be far more successful and beneficial for the National Geographic Channel if it ceased sending the contradictory message that violent treatment of animals is acceptable.” Millan supporters say that all of the criticism of Millan is just jealousy from the established dog training community because other trainers have not managed to achieve the same level of notoriety and success. "You can lead with force, like Saddam Hussein, or you can be a benevolent leader to your dog by choosing a style more like Gandhi's," says Tamar Geller, trainer to Oprah Winfrey's dogs and author of The Loved Dog. "Your approach will determine the type of relationship you have - and whether your dog acts out of intimidation... or respect." The shelters are full of dogs whose lives might have been spared if only they had received training.

"Without training, the life of a puppy is predictable: chewing, soiling the house, digging up the garden, followed by a trip to the shelter where, if it's lucky, it gets another try," Dunbar says, wearily. "Without training, that dog will be dead in less than a year." The one thing Millan and Dunbar both agree on -- training is critical. It saves dogs’ lives. But that’s about where their similarities end. Indeed, compliance from the dog is the goal of all training. Is it best achieved through fear and physical dominance or positive methods based on trust and respect? Will future dog owners of America side with Millan or Dunbar: will the dominance mentality take a back seat to the reward-based training which promotes understanding and living peacefully with one's pets? It’s hard to say. Dogs in Danger Newsletter Why Veterinary Behaviorists Don’t Like Cesar Millan « Pet News and Views Why Veterinary Behaviorists Don’t Like Cesar Millan By Guest Blogger DoLittler, AKA Dr. Patty Khuly, at dogtime.com One of my close relatives took a bad dog bite to the face. Strictly speaking, there was no doubt it was her fault.

He growled at her…and she bit him. Yes, you read that right. After years of dealing with this dog’s seizure/personality disorder by the book (neurologists, behaviorists, trainers, acupuncturists) his owner lost it and bit him on the ear. It was a corrective kind of a bite he might have expected from another dog. His reaction: a swift, punishing bite to the face. Cesar Millan, AKA: the dog whisperer I offer you this close-to-home story by way of explaining how easy it is for humans to become emotionally overwhelmed by a dog’s aggressive behavior. Problem is, while aggression may be a natural, universal language, its interpretation is typically species specific. Thus, a dog cannot read human signs of aggression anywhere near as well as he reads his own species. Even our sophisticated human attempts to convey our emotions at the canine level are likely to be misread by a large percentage of our most docile dogs. Enter Cesar Millan, “The Dog Whisperer,” and his ilk. Promising almost immediate success through basic dominance-based concepts any human can understand makes the message compelling. The entertainment factor and deliverer’s charm gives it traction.

And the media massage of our basest instincts allows for ready acceptance of an almost irresistible idea: great behavior through good pack leadership skills. It’s not a terribly wrongheaded concept in and of itself. However, expressing canine leadership through the prism of our humanity is not as doable as it sounds. There’s just too much room for misinterpretation. A recent article in The Journal of Applied Animal Behavior highlights how simple corrective measures conveying dominance can be futile, misconstrued, prove counterproductive, and often result in bodily harm to humans. According to lead study author Dr. Meghan Herron at the University Pennsylvania: Nationwide, the number-one reason why dog owners take their dog to a veterinary behaviorist is to manage aggressive behavior. Our study demonstrated that many confrontational training methods, whether staring down dogs, striking them, or intimidating them with physical manipulation, do little to correct improper behavior and can elicit aggressive responses. Dr. Sophia Yin, a veterinarian, applied animal behaviorist, clued me in to this research and urged me to help foster pet owner interest in pursuing non-punishing, non-confrontational, less Millan-ish ways of handling basic and problem behavior. Dr.

Yin found that “the highest frequency of aggression occurred in response to aversive (or punishing) interventions, even when the intervention was indirect. In contrast, non-aversive methods resulted in much lower frequency of aggressive responses.” Though science and soothing is undoubtedly less sexy to the average pet owner than Millan’s testosterone-fueled fare, studies like this are necessary to help explain the potentially damaging effects of pack leadership-based training methods. Back to my relative: After two years of hard work the right way, one small bite based on the concept of pack mechanics undid it all. Her beloved (and I mean one really adored dog) was euthanized in the aftermath. It may take a while for these more subtle methods to reverse the trend Cesar Millan has espoused, but it’s crucial to remember: Confrontation? It can kill, and it’s the dog that suffers in the end.

The magician is Cesar Millan, better known as the “ Dog Whisperer .” He is the current face of dog training, and he has brought “dominance theory,” an age-old training technique, back into canine conversation and practice. To understand how to control a dog’s behavior, according to Millan, one needs to look at the hierarchy of wolf packs. Domestic dogowners must confidently carry the title of “pack leader” and assume power over their pets. But many dog trainers and behavior experts criticize the show, advocating a gentler approach to training that replaces coercion and physical behavior corrections with food rewards and other forms of positive reinforcement.

They point to new studies that have placed the two popular dog-training methods head-to-head and almost universally shown positive training to be more successful than punitive methods in reducing aggression and disobedience. Millan may have the ratings, they argue, but purely positive trainers have the science. No more crying wolf Millan’s concept of dominance is based on an old understanding of the behavior of wolves. In the 1960s, researchers observed that wolves formed large packs in which certain individuals beat out others to earn “top dog” status. These were called “alphas.” Millan contends that a dog displaying aggression is trying to establish dominance and attain alpha status, much like its ancestors. He advises humans to take on this position themselves, forcefully if necessary, to keep the dog in a submissive role. Dog trainers whose practices are grounded in these concepts, such as the late Bill Koehler and Captain Arthur Haggerty, have dominated the business for most of the past half-century. But as Dave Mech , an expert on wolf behavior at the University of Minnesota, points out, the early wolf research — much of it his own — was done on animals living in captivity.

Mech has been studying wolves for 50 years now, yet only over the past decade has he gotten a clear picture of these animals in their natural habitats. And what he’s found is far from the domineering behavior popularized by Millan. “In the wild it works just like it does in the human family,” says Mech. “They don’t have to fight to get to the top. When they mature and find a mate they are at the top.” In other words, wolves don't need to play the “alpha” game to win. In the 1980s, around the same time that our understanding of wolves began to change, positive dog-training methods slowly emerged from the fringes and grew in popularity. A tug-of-war continues today between dog trainers practicing predominantly positive reinforcement and those using punishment-based techniques. Nicholas Dodman , director of the Animal Behavior Clinic at Tufts University, is one of the leading proponents of positive training methods.

He believes the source of most bad behavior, especially owner-directed aggression, is mistrust and recommends rebuilding a dog’s trust by “making sure that the dog understands that all good things in life come only and obviously from you.” To get those things — whether food or basic attention — the dog must learn to please you first. But others see these techniques as little more than pampering borne out of lax and inappropriate attitudes toward pets that have recently come into vogue. “In the last ten to fifteen years it’s become, ‘don’t ever say ‘No’ to your dog; don’t ever punish dogs,’” says Babette Haggerty, who is carrying on her father’s dominance-based teaching at Haggerty’s School for Dogs in Manhattan. “I think people are coddling dogs more than ever before.” But in 2004, “The Dog Whisperer” — Millan's doggy psych 101 — premiered on the National Geographic Channel, and the momentum mounting in the positive direction was stymied. “In America, we [had begun] using human psychology on dogs,” Millan says in an email.

“What was needed was for humans to learn dog psychology.” Perils of punishment Many veterinary behaviorists believe punishment-based techniques, like those seen on the show, could come back to bite dog owners. The National Geographic Channel even posts a warning on the screen during each episode: “Do not attempt these techniques yourself without consulting a professional.” According to a paper in the May 2009 issue of the Journal of Veterinary Behavior: Clinical Applications and Research, attempts to assert dominance over a dog can increase a dog’s aggression. Researchers from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom studied dogs in a shelter for six months, while also reanalyzing data from previous studies of feral dogs. Their findings support those of the Mech at the University of Minnesota: dogs don’t fight to get to the top of a “pack.” Rather, violence appears to be copycat behavior — something borne of nurture, not nature. In another recent study, around 25 percent of owners using confrontational training techniques reported aggressive responses from their dogs.

“The source of dog aggression has nothing to do with social hierarchy, but it does, in fact, have to do with fear,” says Meghan Herron , a veterinarian at The Ohio State University and lead author of the study published in the January 2009 issue of Applied Animal Behavior Science. “These dogs are acting aggressively as a response to fear.” Dogs react physiologically to stress and fear in the same way people do, with hormones. Two 2008 studies out of Hungary and Japan showed, respectively, that concentrations of the stress hormone cortisol increased in dogs that were strictly disciplined and that levels were linked to elevation of aggressive behavior. What’s more, an Irish study found that physically or verbally reprimanding a dog with a history of biting people was one of the significant predictors of a subsequent bite. The results were published in April 2008 in Applied Animal Behavior Science. “[All these studies] confirm what many of us have said for a long time,” says Pat Miller, owner of Peaceable Paws dog and puppy training in Hagerstown, Maryland.

“If you use aggression in training your dog, you’re likely to elicit aggression back.” Paybacks of positive reinforcement Before practicing professionally as a dog trainer, Jolanta Benal of Brooklyn, New York, learned the difference between positive and punitive methods personally. Her dog, Mugsy, had an attraction to men in uniform. Whether they were wearing UPS brown or U.S. Postal Service blue, Benal's bulldog would lunge at them on the street. So she hired a highly recommended dog trainer to try to correct this behavior. “He would set Mugsy up to do offending behavior, and then throw a can full of pennies at the dog,” she says. “It was a traditional old school technique. And it worked to suppress the problem behavior — at least in the moment.” Mugsy’s unhealthy obsession with the postal workers, however, did not go away. Even if he didn’t always jump at the UPS guy on a walk-by, says Benal, he wasn’t happy to see him either. Benal then traded in for a new trainer that brought chicken instead of coins. As the man in uniform approached, Benal was now instructed to distract Mugsy by giving him the treat. And it worked.

After several times, the dog would look to her in expectation, rather than towards the uniform-clad men in alarm. “For the last year of his life, he was an angel,” says Benal. “It was amazing the changes it brought.” Millan argues that using food to coax dogs may be impractical: “It can result in an addiction to treats or an overweight dog,” he says in an email. However, Dodman of Tufts University explains that trainers only give food at the beginning of training. After a period of time, owners should reward intermittently, reinforcing the response. “If every time you played the lottery you won money, then the excitement wouldn’t be there anymore,” says Dodman. “The thrill for the dog is ‘Will I get a treat this time?’” Back-aches from stooping low to feed a dog, or the added cost of extra chicken or doggy treats, he believes, are far less dreadful than the anxiety and altered relationships caused by the punitive alternative. Dodman has some data to back him up. In February 2004, a paper in Animal Welfare by Elly Hiby and colleagues at the University of Bristol compared the relative effectiveness of the positive and punitive methods for the first time.

The dogs became more obedient the more they were trained using rewards. When they were punished, on the other hand, the only significant change was a corresponding rise in the number of bad behaviors. A series of more recent papers also support Dodman’s theory and Hiby’s results. A study published in the October 2008 issue of Journal of Veterinary Behavior found that positive reinforcement led to the lowest average scores for fear and attention-seeking behaviors, while aggression scores were higher in dogs of owners who used punishment. Another 2008 study, this one published in Applied Animal Behavior Science, found that positive training methods resulted in better performances than punishment for Belgian military dog handlers. Bridging the differences in dogma It’s hard to argue that the slow, patient techniques used in positive reinforcement would elicit the same dramatic moments seen on Cesar Millan’s show. “There’s a big difference between looking at behavior as a ‘Stop that’ versus a ‘Here’s what I want,’” says Bruce Blumberg, a professor of dog psychology at the Harvard Extension School. “Positive reinforcement is a different mindset.

And it’s one that doesn’t work quite as well on TV.” Dodman is one of many people who have asked the National Geographic Channel to discontinue “The Dog Whisperer,” consistently one of the highest-rated shows on the network. The American Humane Association issued a press statement in 2006 asking for a cancellation because of what they suggested were abusive techniques used by Millan. More recently, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior issued a position statement in which it expresses concern “with the recent reemergence of dominance theory and forcing dogs and other animals into submission as a means of preventing and correcting behaviors.” Millan defends his methods, asserting they “use the minimum force necessary to prevent or correct a problem.” According to the dog rehabilitator, he can “redirect the behavior of most of my pack with just my body language, eye contact and energy.” He points to the “thousands upon thousands of letters” he receives from viewers touting “miracles” of restored relationships and saved dogs. “All I want is what is best for the animal,” Millan says. Despite the controversy, there is a lot that everyone agrees on.

Both sides of the training spectrum teach that a lack of discipline or structure is not conducive to a well-behaved dog. “Dogs need direction and boundaries, just like human relationships,” says Haggerty, the trainer from the School for Dogs in Manhattan, which uses dominance theory. “If dogs don’t know what the boundaries are, they will wreak havoc.” How a dog owner projects those boundaries is also important. “You have to be calm, you have to be clear, you have to be consistent, and you have to make sure you meet your pet’s needs for other things: exercise, play, social interaction,” says Herron of The Ohio State University. So what does an owner do when a calm and structured environment still breeds a misfit pup like JonBee? Should it be the leash and hand that redirects the dog, or poultry and patience? Current science favors the chicken flavor. But whichever strategy you choose, everyone agrees that the timing must be precise. It is very difficult for a dog to make an appropriate association and learn from the reprimand or reward otherwise.

Of course, if you take Blumberg’s Harvard class, he'll tell you, “If your timing is lousy using positive reinforcement, the worst thing that happens is you get a fat dog.” This article is provided by Scienceline , a project of New York University's Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program.
